>> john, good morning. we expect perhaps as soon as later today to learn the name of the navy seal who died in this hostage rescue attempt. dr. joseph of the nonprofit medical agency that was working in afghanistan kidnapped by the taliban, he was rescued. but, of course, this navy seal died in that attempt. what we now know is that this man was a member of seal team six. actually known inside the military as the special warfare development group. the same elite team that went on the osama bin laden raid. we don't know yet if this fallen seal was part of the bin laden mission. the president even putting out a statement about this late yesterday saying, "he gave his life for his fellow americans, and he and his teammates remind us once more of the selfless service that allows our nation to stay strong, safe, and free." and, of course, it's a good moment to pause, isn't it, and remember all of those who serve and the fallen. the u.s. military this year so far, john, has lost 305 in afghanistan. >> so importan

>> the silence seems to be golden, john. remember last week when all the players involved seem to be posturing and positioning and talking about negotiations? not so much, at least in the past few days. we know president obama and house speaker john boehner had a one-on-one meeting, right, on sunday, their first since mid-november. what were the details from that meeting and from the ongoing discussions? they're not really -- both sides are not really being forthcoming with what the substance of those conversations, both sides yesterday, the white house and the republican leadership put out statements. they're essentially the same. i'll read just one from boehner's press secretary. discussions with the white house are taking place but we have no detail to share about the substance of those conversations. the republican offer made last week remains the republican offer and we continue to wait for the president to identify the spending cuts he's willing to make as part of the balanced approach he promised the american people.
